Our family went on the tour this morning. We saw many beautiful horses a week old foal, dolphins, birds and Chris's knowledge of the area was incredible. Was an amazing tour and well worth the money. We would definitely do this again! Great pictures also!

My wife and I had a terrific outing in June 2013. We did the three hour tour, which started with a trip straight out onto the 4x4 only beach in Corolla and then into the dunes. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the best places to go to see the local wildlife. On our... More

My husband and I spent a week on Swan Beach without seeing any of the famous wild horses we had expected to see, so the day before we left, we decided to take a trip with Back Country Safari Tours. Our guide, Jacob, was an expert on the area and seemed to really care for and take pride in the... More

We took the Segway tour of historic Corolla. Chris was our guide and he was absolutely awesome. We found Chris to be an excellent trainer for Segway and a knowledgeable guide for the tour. Our tour group of 5 people was out and running the trails, paths, and back roads in no time and we were all beginners. My wife... More

We went on the Kayak tour with Shawn as our guide, and had a great time. He was very knowledgeable about the area/horses/history and it was very fun and informative. We were renting a house in Nags Head and drove up for this tour. After our tour we decided that next time we visit the OBX we will probably stay... More

The guide we had for our vehicle was Jacob who was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable of the horses, the area and explained all the rules regarding our encounters with the horses. It was a wonderful experience for the large group we were with. We travelled in four vehicles along the beach and into the dunes. We even... More

Shawn and Dave were great. Very safe and lots of knowledge in the horses and history of the area. Dave even grabbed a black racer snake out of the tree for us to look at. It was great!!! We look forward to taking the kayak tour next year.

This was a great experience. I would suggest this to anyone and you will not be disappointed. Our tour guide was awesome and had plenty if information and stories to tell. We also saw approximately 30 horses, both on the beach and behind the dunes. This experience was well worth the money that was invested in to it and it... More

A couple of years ago we did the Historic Corolla Segway tour with Schwinn as our tour guide. This year we decided to do the 4x4 Segway tour up through the private mustang reserve and it was a blast! Chris was our tour guide this time. We were also fortunate enough to be the only two tourists on this tour,... More

We did the wild horse tour two years ago and again today. While we had a great time then and saw over 25 horses, this time it was totally unbelievable! Due to the invasion of mayflies, the stallions and their harems were literally hanging out on the beach. Within minutes of hitting the beach area, we saw our first harem... More
